REJOICING.
JOY Among the Fishermen.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, Jan. 25.-There
was great jubilation here last night over
the passage of the retaliation fishery bill
by the Senate. A large crowd assembled
in the vicinity OF the custom-house and
postoffice, blocking the street and awak-
ening echoes with frequent cheers and
other manifestations of enthusiasm The
general opinion is that the bill is what
fishermen and vessel owners here desire.
They do not want to be on unfriendly
terms with the Canadians, but do want
accordance of commercial rights and
privileges.
